Primer volumen de la serie Mundodisco de Terry Pratchett. En un mundo plano sostenido por cuatro elefantes impasibles -que se apoyan en la espalda de una tortuga gigante- habitan los estrafalarios personajes de esta novela: un hechicero avaro y torpe, un turista ingenuo cuyo fiero equipaje le sigue a todas partes sostenido por cientos de patitas, dragones que solo existen si se cree en ellos, gremios de ladrones y asesinos, espadas mágicas, la Muerte y, por supuesto, un extenso catálogo de magos y demonios... En esta serie de novelas se dan cita todos los temas y situaciones del género fantástico, vistos a través del personalísimo y corrosivo sentido de la comicidad de un autor inglés que se ha convertido en uno de los escritores de humor de mayor éxito y fama en el mundo. La crítica ha dicho... «Un consejo. Id a vuestra librería de confianza, pedid un libro de Terry Pratchett y abríos una nueva puerta que os llevará a un mundo de carcajadas, de ironía, de frases lapidarias, de intrigas y de amores. ¡Bienvenidos al Mundodisco!» El País «Brillante, ingenioso e hilarante.» Washington Post
La historia real de un psiquiatra, su joven paciente y la terapia de regresión que cambió sus vidas para siempre. Un punto de encuentro entre ciencia y metafísica. El doctor Brian Weiss, jefe de psiquiatría del hospital Mount Sinai de Miami, relata en éste, su primer libro, una asombrosa experiencia que cambió por completo su propia vida y su visión de la psicoterapia. Una de sus pacientes, Catherine, recordó bajo hipnosis varias de sus vidas pasadas y pudo encontrar en ellas el origen de muchos de los traumas que sufría. Catherine se curó, pero ocurrió algo todavía más importante: logró ponerse en contacto con los Maestros, espíritus superiores que habitan los estados entre dos vidas. Ellos le comunicaron importantes mensajes de sabiduría y de conocimiento. Este relato, profundamente conmovedor, punto de encuentro entre ciencia y metafísica, constituyó un extraordinario best seller y sigue siendo de obligada lectura en un mundo convulsionado, en especial para los que buscan un sentido espiritual. Los mejores comentarios de los lectores sobre Muchas vidas, muchos maestros: «Impactante. Un libro que te obliga a realizar pausas de vez en cuando para asimilar y procesar las experiencias que relata. Tiene la credibilidad de una eminencia en psiquiatría y se asemeja en ocasiones al Libro Tibetano de los muertos pero bajo mi opinión hay aceptar esta información y cogerlo con pinzas ya que ningún hombre a lo largo de la humanidad murió y volvió para contarnos lo que hay en el más allá». «Interesante lectura incluso para escépticos. He disfrutado su lectura, a pesar de ser muy escéptico sobre estas cuestiones. Habituado a lectura científica, sentía una sana curiosidad por este libro. Quería descubrir si se trataba de una farsa o tenía visos de seriedad y, tras su lectura, no puedo sino recomendarlo. Se puede creer o no lo que en él se describe, eso es cuestión de cada uno, pero sin duda merece la pena su conocimiento». «Un libro increíblemente interesante. Libro muy fácil de leer y de tremendo impacto. Las cosas que hablan y los temas que abordan deberían ser aprendidos en el colegio. Todo ser humano debería leer este libro y respetar las teorías que mencionan en el. Brian Weiss es sin lugar a dudas un psiquiatra de prestigio que se atreve a abordar temas muy estigmatizados en nuestra época y sociedad actual».
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll “Every few decades an unknown author brings out a book of such depth, charity, range, wit, beauty, and originality that it is recognized at once as a major literary event. This is such a work.” ―Scientific American GEB is a unique insight into the nature of “I,” self, soul, and consciousness, centered on a notion that its youthful author dubbed “strange loop,” inspired by the twisty self-referential construction invented by logician Kurt Gödel, whereby a sentence asserts its own unprovability. The book’s chapters alternate with Bach-like contrapuntal dialogues between whimsical characters (especially Achilles and the Tortoise), and each dialogue’s intricate structure exemplifies the notion being discussed in it, thus creating indirect self-reference (a fact unsuspected by the characters). The book, filled with analogies, wordplay, humor, and mind-twisting prints by M. C. Escher, has inspired generations of bright students to study cognitive science and the philosophy of mind.

[Audio CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case] Called by H. L. Mencken, one of the few economists in history who could really write, Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work. In it, he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes, and recession. Covering considerable ground, Hazlitt illustrates the destructive effects of taxes, rent and price controls, inflation, trade restrictions, and minimum-wage laws. He also writes about key classical liberal thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Herbert Spencer.

The acclaimed New York Times bestselling history of financial crises Throughout history, rich and poor countries alike have been lending, borrowing, crashing, and recovering their way through an extraordinary range of financial crises. Each time, the experts have chimed, “this time is different”—claiming that the old rules of valuation no longer apply and that the new situation bears little similarity to past disasters. With this breakthrough study, leading economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff definitively prove them wrong. Covering sixty-six countries across five continents and eight centuries, This Time Is Different presents a comprehensive look at the varieties of financial crises—including government defaults, banking panics, and inflationary spikes—from medieval currency debasements to the subprime mortgage catastrophe. Reinhart and Rogoff provocatively argue that financial combustions are universal rites of passage for emerging and established market nations. A remarkable history of financial folly, This Time Is Different will influence financial and economic thinking and policy for decades to come.
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BLAKE LIVELY AND JUSTIN BALDONI! From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reminders of Him and It Starts with Us, a “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) about a young woman in a new relationship who can’t stop thinking about her first love. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down” (USA TODAY).
